Are there other towels you recommend?

Also, I know have a TON of swirl marks that I can't figure out where they came from. I waxed the car twice. And use chenell (SP) mitts for washing.
First, next time you wash the car, remove the nozzle and allow the water to run over the surface. The majority of water will "sheet" away.

Regarding the "blond towels", did you wash them prior to using them? If so, and you're still not happy, you may try visiting a store such as Macys and look for 100% cotton, white, "Made in America" bath towels, concentrating on the Fieldcrest brand. They are more expensive, but worth the money.

As for the swirl marks, please forgive me, but I forget what you're using. There are any number of culprits for the swirls; are you making sure the wash mitt is completely clean each time; what applicators are you using to apply the wax; what are the conditions you're washing/dryingthe car in; etc.

Please let me know and we'll figure this out.
